A Lockheed "Rounder"

Excellent, thank you very much, Milton.

Here is the Lodestar VC , still a WIP in progress. Note that I'm now texturing the seats with my own WIP textures - might have to color the frame a different color and also give the cushions a bit more color depth too. I haven't started on the passenger cabin yet - doing one thing at a time, and when the cockpit is done I'll move on to the cabin. Having some fun and enjoying doing the texturing in my own time.

Excellent work Mark!

Great progress on the cockpit textures Mark

I think I'm done with the Sabena textures, but if anyone spots a problem it can be easily fixed.
fwiw. Any changes that I do for new paints i.e. panel lines etc I also do for the other WIP textures. Use the existing links to download the updates.

Hi André,

Wonderful repaints as always - many thanks for these! ^_^

I spotted one minor issue with the late Sabena repaint - the blue cheatline had a minor white edge to it.

The b/w pictures of the Lodestars show this rather poorly - it's far more visible on other Sabena aircraft of the same era:

Given my connections to Belgium, I'm looking forward to the Sabena paints.

**Milton Shupe** · June 30th, 2015, 05:02

Andre and Mark, thank you so much

Your paint work is looking great and I am really enjoying your sharing it with us. Exciting stuff all around.

**Andre19** · June 30th, 2015, 22:49

Thanks for pointing out the issue with the white stripe, I would never have picked that up as the photos are not that clear.

I've added the stripe and the download's been updated.

Still working on the Vega Ventura PV-1 cockpit and making some progress. Much to do yet.

**lemonadedrinker** · July 1st, 2015, 13:31

Hi,

Looking amazing.

Just remember, Milton, that you are entitled to a break once in a while; just short ones though.

Andy.

**mrogers** · July 1st, 2015, 23:46

Thanks all for your comments, also thanks to Andre for all the beautiful repaints! Milton the Ventura cockpit is coming along nicely too..

This is simply amazing!!!

The "Lockheed Twins" have been long neglected in FS for years. Milton is more than making up for that.

It is amazing that after FS9 was abandoned by payware developers, few freeware developers still left are making all my favourites, one after another....

**Milton Shupe** · July 4th, 2015, 05:36

Hopefully I can get these out the door one way or another guys. Still pluggin' away at it. :-)

Attu Warrior - the real one - has been doing flybys all day today and yesterday in company with a Mustang and a Texan over my city. Simply beautiful! The WiP version of Attu Warrior released some time ago has been one of my go-to favorites since release, and I'm loving the newer releases just as much. Can't wait for the finished product, whenever that occurs...

Here is a test for the Lockheed

That is looking great Marty!

That is just beautiful Tom; thanks for the heads-up.

I will have to skinny down the antenna options for these liveries. :-)

Got tired of seeing that USAAF pilot in the Harpoon...

Hehe, Willy!

"FS9/FSX National Airlines Textures for Lockheed L-18 Lodestar by Milton Schupe.

Requires Lockheed L-18 aircraft by Milton Schupe.

Textures by Gary Harper"

Beautiful paint scheme ... bungled my name :-)

Uploaded to Flightsim in the FSX section; works on the FS9 side as well.

Hello Milton,

Maybe it's just me

But I found the air file (flight model) of the Lodestar weird
I can still fly level under 60 Knots with full flaps and gear down and little trim up and little power
Is this normal or just part of the WIP ?
Just asking
